McAfee VirusScan monitors your business computer for malicious files like viruses and other forms of malware by regularly scanning the files on your hard drive. In some cases, a scheduled scan can interrupt an application’s connection to the Web or disrupt database routines. McAfee allows you to stipulate exceptions to its scheduled scans by applying exclusions to files or folders on your computer. Applying an exclusion to a file means that it won’t be monitored for malicious activity.

1. Type “VirusScan Console” at the Start screen and press “Enter.”

2. Right-click “On-Access Scanner” listed in the left window pane and select “Properties.”
